*racedvl* · 12-12-2002, 11:03 PM

That just flat out looks great!!! Some day when I win the lotto

I wanna do a bone stock resto. But I wanna find a well optioned truck to do it with.

Looks like she just rolled off the lot! Again, great work!

68 Suburban · 12-12-2002, 11:21 PM

Today to be different, you need to be "orginal". That definately is original.

I wonder when it started that keeping your truck original, was being more "original" than slamming it?

Nice job!

toms68cst · 12-12-2002, 11:30 PM

Johnny, I think you already know how I feel about your truck!

NICE!

Crank · 12-12-2002, 11:36 PM

I'm with '71stepside, My tastes are a little different than that of what your truck is now. I definately dig the truck Chevjayfsd posted but I think I'ma end up lieing in bed tonight dreaming of that truck. The thing is so clean and beautiful to say the least. Nice work and a job well done!!! I hope when I begin building a truck although it will be a different style than your resto, I want it to be that immaculately clean and AWESOME> Thanks for the pics.

I agree, I think it's harder to finish out one like Maych, too.

You've done a WONDERFUL job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trends come and go, but original always wins in the end. Great job- I love the engine.

Low69CST · 12-13-2002, 12:30 AM

The engine really does look good. Seeing those original wire holders on the back of the engine made me remember this past weekend, my dad yelled at me for cutting a pair up to make them work on my 400sb. Apparently they are extremely hard to find. Looks really good.

*Gee_Emm* · 12-13-2002, 12:38 AM

"Trends come and go, but original always wins in the end."

That is a really good way of putting it.

That truck is way cool, you don't see too many restorations these days it seems.

jeffbo · 12-13-2002, 12:49 AM

That's a great looking truck johnny. Very clean. Good work

barn9 · 12-13-2002, 02:35 AM

Great Job ! Regards Doug

toms68cst · 12-13-2002, 09:06 AM

What tires are you running on your truck Johnny? You see alot of advertising lit for these trucks with narrow white-walls on them.

Mandrake · 12-13-2002, 09:16 AM

That is a beautiful truck. Great job on your website too. Hotrod trucks are cool,,,,but nothing gets me excited like seeing a stocker going down the road. I think the original look is so clean. Most of the trucks around these parts have been butchered up in one way or another. Yours is very sweet. Great job.

johnnyp · 12-13-2002, 10:17 AM

toms68cst, the tires are P225/75R15 Uniroyal Tiger Paws. I "fudged" a little on the originality of the tires. The originals where not white walls - I know because the original bias-ply spare was still in the spare tire holder when I bought the truck. I wasn't going back with bias-ply (hey, this is a driver, not a trailer-queen) and I thought the white walls were more in keeping with the Sierra Grande trim option. I found some old 71-72 brochures and looked for tires with white walls that were a close match. The Uniroyals were the closest match I could find. Most other brand's white walls were much thinner.

Here's the original Firestone H78-15-B. It still holds air and I'm going to keep it as the spare. Probably not a "working" spare, just for a conversation piece.

*Gee_Emm* · 12-13-2002, 10:23 AM

Yah I have alot of truck ads that I collect and I have never noticed white walls on any of those trucks before. I think they wouldnt look right. I will have to go double check my ads now

crazy longhorn · 12-13-2002, 10:27 AM

Im one of the streetrod /custom "nuts".......but have to say that is one sweet truck! The 67-72s are very nice, done anyway the owner desires........

matt67350 · 12-13-2002, 11:08 AM

Wow, That's A Great truck. I hope you can enjoy it.

LS1 K-5 Blazer · 12-13-2002, 12:06 PM

Awesome!! My blazer will probably never look like that, but it is getting some paint soon.

694X4 · 12-13-2002, 04:49 PM
